Track Muscles

Track Muscles is a muscle recovery app aimed at athletes at the amateur level of track and field. The app allows its users to record and track their muscle soreness and fatigue, and share immediately with their coach who can then use the information to alter training and recovery sessions. The app aims to bridge the communication gap often felt at amateur levels of sports, due to a high number of athletes to a coach, and due to restricted training times.

The coach can access a list of his athletes, preview their muscle soreness and get comments from the individual athlete. He can also see their history and compare their fatigue to the number of sessions they have done. The athlete rates their fatigue and soreness levels on a 1-5 scale, which they can modify to assign personalised meanings to. The coach can see the individual athletes assigned meanings when checking their updates.
